2x 4mm Stainless Steel D Shackles Wire Rope Chain Coupling Joiner Link Bolt

4mm Stainless Steel D Shackles – For Wire Rope & Chain Coupling

Pack of 2

Overview – It is often the case that wire ropes aren’t supplied in very long lengths due to the difficulty in shipping huge reels of steel cable. D Shackles are used to attach 2 lengths of wire rope cable or chains together securely. Our stainless steel shackles are incredibly tough, can be used in an outdoor environment and are very easy to install.

How to install – Take 2 lengths of wire rope (or 2 chains) preferably with thimbles on the end. Unscrew the bar from the D shackle and take the bar out. Now overlap the thimbles, place inside of the D shackles, insert the bar and tighten up. You now have a successful, safe and strong join (see pictures above).

We also stock the following products which make any wire rope install much easier:

Welded Eye (E BOLT) – Various sizes available

Please search our shop or get in touch for more details.

D Shaped Shackle – A lot of shackles are round, D shaped shackles prevent movement of the coupled cables within which in turn stops any damage/wear occurring to the shackles and improves the overall strength of the wire rope install.

Stainless Steel – stainless coatings are applied during the manufacturing process of the steel and give the steel an anti-corrosion layer. This is designed for outdoor use as the stainless steel product will be weather and rust resistant, perfect for all external applications/installations. Stainless steel finishes are also more attractive than conventional galvanised finishes.
